Seconded by Alderman Mabbett:

That the request stated by Mr. W. Foster in his letter dated September
27th, 1974, for removal of two large trees on the South side adjoining

his property at 3247 Liverpool Street, be denied. Defeated.
Alderman Traboulay voted in favour of the resolution.

Prior to defeat of the foregoing resolution, Alderman Traboulay
advised he had made an on-site inspection of the trees in question,
which he mentioned take years to grow, and suggested that a solution to
the problem would be to limb the trees; however, Alderman Ranger advised
that on inspecting Mr. Foster's home, he had noted that the eves were
completely blocked with leaves and the sundeck obliterated with them,
and he stated he felt the trees should be removed. Alderman Laking

stated he agreed with the comments made by Alderman Ranger, as did

Alderman Thompson.
